Many Things...

Thank you so much for coming to Open House last night! I hope that you were able to see your child's artwork at our annual art show.

We have a Social Studies test on Thursday. We worked all week on the study guide and it should be in your child's homework folder for the weekend!

Mrs. Besk and I have decided to not put on the Gold Rush play. When we purchased it this fall, we decided to wait for our Gold Rush unit, but we should have started then. We hadn't factored in the speech meet, landmark projects, and state testing.  Not only that but our three big field trips are all coming up. We decided that it would just be way too much. We want to do quality work, not quantity. We want to finish strong. Thank you for your understanding.

I have received 10 volunteers for the Sacramento field trip and my list keeps growing. I will wait until Monday morning to see if anyone else wants to put their name in the hat. If you want to join us, please e-mail me by Monday morning at the latest. I will do the drawing on Monday, and once I do it I can't change it. Thank you for your understanding. I will send out an e-mail with our chaperones as soon as I have our list. We are getting excited!!

Up-Coming Trip Details

Very important information!!!

We have three big field trips coming up in March and April. We begin with Ano Nuevo on Friday, March 6th, then Pinnacles on Wednesday, April 8th, and closeout April with our big trip to Sacramento on Tuesday, April 28th. This e-mail is to remind you of those dates, but also to discuss Sacramento with you.

We have hired Pacific Monarch to drive us up to and around Sacramento. The max capacity for the bus is 59: 50 students, 2 teachers, and 7 chaperones. We need a total of 16 chaperones, so each class has 8. This trip is a big deal and involves a lot of moving parts and people. We need everyone to come with flexibility and excitement to learn together. We will need 2-3 vehicles that can hold 3-4 people, as we will have 9 parents that need to caravan with us. Please allow your child to ride the bus with their classmates, as it is often the highlight of the year. We watch movies, sing songs, and it is just really special (and loud). The drivers will have an extra hard job, because they will drop off their group of parents at the site and then need to find parking. We know it is not ideal, but we appreciate you considering this big job. If you are a driver, we will double you with another parent as co-leaders, so the students always have a chaperone with them. We are just praying for easy parking and an amazing experience for everyone. We know it will be many of the parents first time too, so we want you to get to see it all as well.

I am writing to you to start gathering names for who is interested in joining us. We will take 8 parents from each class. If, for example, 11 parents are interested, then I will draw names from a hat. I have 8 spots open for our class, 3-4 of those will be on the bus, and the other 3-4 will be in a car. Please reply to this email if you would like your name to be added into the hat, even if you have already told me you would like to come along. I will accept names through Monday, February 24th, and then let everyone know by February 28th who is coming with us. I do not have the final cost yet, but it averages around $80 per person. If you know that your family will be out of town and your child will not be joining us for the Sacramento trip, PLEASE let me know ASAP as this changes all of our numbers and details. Thank you in advance for your flexibility, support, and all-around awesomeness! Have a great day!!
